If you could sum up Duke Ellington in three words, what would they be?

iconic musical innovator

What about Forest Whitaker’s performance did you like?

He has a lovely speaking voice and his reading complemented the music.

Any additional comments?

This was a lovely short book for children with excellent narration by Whitaker. The music gave a feeling for Ellington's sound. My tween even enjoyed listening to it before bedtime. Highly recommended if it is on sale for a reasonable price!
